2001 Centenary of Federation 20c - Western Australia

During 2000, as part of the Centenary of Federation celebrations, the Royal Australian Mint conducted a nation-wide competition to find a school student from each Australian State and self-governing Territory whose Centenary of Federation design was to appear on a nationally-circulated 20c coin.  Janice Ng of Forrestfield Senior High School was the Centenary of Federation Student Design winner for Western Australia.

The elegant design features the flower of the Red and Green Kangaroo Paw and the Bilby against an outline of Western Australia. The Red and Green Kangaroo Paw is Western Australia's official floral emblem, whilst the Bilby is one of Australia's best-known endangered species found in the State's north west.
